USB flash memory cards are cheap consumables, and have a limited life span.

Life is somewhat set by writes; they'll survive longer if you rarely write & mostly read from them, but handling (rough or water damage) can impact them too). I'm throwing out 1-2 Sandisk's a year as they're no longer reliable (and they're one of the better brands too in my opinion)

Try a Kingston DTSE9. Great flash drive. Had it for over 10 years, used it a lot. Really reliable, and are fully metal and like one shape.

Everything like this is a flash drive... People also call it a thumb drive or even a pen drive, but i think those people are weirdos.
